Brad Paisley played his Drive-in style concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Saturday night (7/11) to a packed parking lot with cars and social distancing in place.

Brad posted to Instagram after the show, "Live music will live on. We will beat this virus. Thank you Nashville for being there for us tonight, and for letting us be there for you, in a strange new way. #nashvillestrong #livefromthedrivein."

Brad also played a show outside the same way to cars in Indianapolis Sunday night (7/12). He posted a song from the show to Instagram, "Last song of the weekend. We love you Indianapolis."

Then, he posted, "Thank you for this weekend everyone. People stayed by their cars, rules were followed, and beer was drank. We will never take the chance to play music for granted. Take that, Covid. #weareallinthistogether."
